“My Body, My Choice! Unless You’re Trans” Say Canada’s Conservatives
<p>In his 1859 seminal work <em>On Liberty</em>, the philosopher <a href="https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mill-moral-political/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">John Stuart Mill wrote</a> that people should be free to act in any manner they choose unless their actions cause harm to others. This became known as the Harm Principle, whereby the autonomy of the individual is supreme and is only to be curtailed when it causes harm to other members of the community.</p>
<p>This tenet has been a clarion call for conservative-minded people in the over 150 years since it was published. Or, to be more accurate, for adherents of classical liberalism, which, ironically, is actually more in line with modern conservatism and libertarianism.</p>
